U.S. and Brent crude slip as Trump says Russia and Ukraine agreed not to hit energy targets

U.S. crude and Brent crude both fell $1.4 in short-term trading on Sept. 14, according to Bitget market data, with prices quoted at $98.749 a barrel and $104.29 a barrel, respectively. Diesel futures also gave back part of their gains and traded near $5.04 a gallon. On the news side, Trump said Ukraine had agreed to stop striking Russian energy facilities and that Russia had agreed to do the same. If that arrangement is carried out, attacks by both sides on energy infrastructure could ease. Trump also said the recent rise in global diesel prices was mainly caused by the Russia-Ukraine war rather than the situation involving Iran. The move in oil prices came alongside that statement.

U.S. diesel tops $6 a gallon as Bank of America says it poses a bigger economic threat than Treasury yields

U.S. average diesel prices climbed to $6.0556 a gallon on Sept. 11, the first time the national average has crossed the $6 mark and a new record high. Bank of America said in a Friday report that the bigger threat to the U.S. economy is not the recent surge in Treasury yields, but diesel prices, which feed directly into freight, farming, heating and parts of power generation. The call stands out as Wall Street has focused heavily on bond yields, with the 30-year Treasury yield nearing 5.3% this week, its highest level since 2007. Analysts and industry figures cited in the report said diesel acts as a key production input rather than a simple household fuel, making its rise more disruptive across supply chains. AAA data showed diesel prices rose another 21 cents over the past week, while California’s average reached $7.9827 a gallon. The report also tied the jump to higher crude prices, damaged refining infrastructure in the Middle East and Russia, Russian export limits, and tight refining capacity in the U.S. Those pressures are colliding with seasonal demand from harvest activity and holiday shipping, while energy costs are also feeding into inflation and interest-rate expectations.

U.S. officials say Saudi East-West pipeline system was hit, with pump stations damaged

CNN, citing two U.S. officials, reported that Saudi Arabia’s key East-West oil pipeline system came under projectile attack on Thursday local time. An initial assessment said pump stations alongside the pipeline were struck. Satellite images showed heavy fire damage at one station, while another experienced a smaller blaze and emitted thick smoke. It remains unclear who carried out the attack, whether the pipeline itself was damaged, and how long repairs could take. One U.S. official said the drones used in the attack came from the direction of Iraq. The report also noted that the East-West pipeline has become more important since the outbreak of the U.S.-Iran war. With Iran effectively shutting the Strait of Hormuz, Saudi Arabia has rerouted about 5 million barrels per day of crude that had been headed to tankers in the Persian Gulf through the pipeline to Yanbu on the Red Sea. At the same time, the Houthis have said they will target any Saudi vessels attempting to pass through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, putting that alternative export route at risk as well.
